Question

discuss when would you recommend to use a system composed of composite steel deck and open web joists?

Answer 1

*the decking will act as a safe working platform and is a saftey canopy to protect the workers working below from the falling objects.

*this method is tiffer and stronger than many other floor systems, so the density(weight and size ) of the main structure can be reduced an with that size of the foundation can also be reduced.

*it can be used in constuction of shallower floors, which leads to reduction in height of storey, which will increase more storey for the same over all height of the building.

*it also acts as a sustainable solution, as a steel can be recycled without much change in its original property.

* it can be used in areas like schools, hospitals,cinemas,Housing, Industrial Building and commrcial buildings.
